What makes me, me.

Everyone has idols in their life, Bruce Willis had Danny DeVito, Morgan Freeman had Ozzy Osborn, and Billy Mayes had Bruce Lee. In most cases people tend to look up to, and aspire to become their idols. It is my hope that one day as I parade the hallways of my school that some kid with long hair swooped over to side, an extreme v-neck, and tight pants will come up to me and say, "Oh hey, you're Sam Wolf", to which I shall reply "Why yes my friend, I am indeed Sam Wolf" only to hear him respond with "You're my idol broski. Peace out". Below are four people who I idolize greatly, and yes I am serious.

Also, I sure hope that my computer decides to upload these images for once.



1. Luke Skywalker.
Chances are if you've talked to me for more than five minutes I've probably mentioned the fact that I love Starwars. Now when I say I love Starwars, I FREAKING LOVE STARWARS! Like seriously, when I was a kid I'd spend hours pretending to be different Starwars characters. Whenever I'd do this my favorite character was always Luke Skywalker because of how cool he was. I always liked Luke because he was always such a "Bad-ass". Like the scene in A New Hope when Luke shoots his proton torpedoes into the tiny exhaust shaft in the Death Star without his targeting computer, when he chooses to leap off of the ventalation shaft in Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back rather than to accept the fact that Darth Vader, his worst enemy, is his father, or when he takes on Emperor Palatine in The Return of The Jedi, Luke Skywalker is all around "Bad-ass".



2."Krooked" Ken.
"Krooked" Ken is five-foot two, covered in tattoos, and one of the funniest people you will ever meet. I actually had the privilege of meeting Ken in Chicago this summer, and let me say he is one of the funniest guys I have ever and will ever meet. Ken is a tattoo artist who specializes in Traditional-American style tattooing. He has worked with tattoo icons such as Norm "Sailor Jerry" Collins, Lew the Jew, and Jack Dracula. Such a "Br00t4l" guy.



3. Jack Dracula.
Speaking of Jack Dracula, Jack Dracula. Jack first started getting tattoos in the late 30's when he was a young boy, after getting some serious ink in the Navy Jack started his own tattoo shop to support himself for when he wasn't traveling as an act for a cicrus. I find Jack to be quite "Bad-ass" because at the time that he got tattooed, especially on his face, no one got tattooed, and in fact society looked down on people who did get tattooed.



4. Frank Carter
Finally I have Frank Carter. Frank is the vocalist for a band called Gallows, who if you haven't checked out I strongly suggest that you check them out. Frank is my idol because he's the vocalist for a hardcore/punk band, is covered in tattoos, followed his dream of being in a band, and in his free time is a tattoo artist. Also he gets so crazy at shows that he often times makes his nose bleed or cracks his head, "Br00t4l"

So those are four people who I really idolize pretty heavily, but I seriously doubt that I'd ever get an eagle tattooed on my forehead.

Oh and I should also add that I had another supurb weekend with Evan, Tessa, and Michelle. Oh yeah and that none of the celebrities listed idolized those people.

Peace out,

Sam

  1. "Starwars" is spelled, "Star Wars." Come on Sam, you're nerdier/better than that.

  2. Jack Martin "Dracula" was born in '35. He definitely didn't get any tattoos within the first five years of his life. We was first tattooed in the late '40's, and began operating shops in the 1950's.
